Darker and Edgier
 GremoryLand (Webcomic) / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: Somehow manages to be even darker than A. Rasen's previous series, Melvina's Therapy, including (among other things) onscreen sexual assault (as far as Webtoon's censors will allow). The fact that it is coloured compared to the monochrome of Melvina's Therapy only serves to allow more graphic violence.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Done quite literally in the climax, when Margo shoots at the fourth wall to cut off the viewers from Gremory Land, thus ending it.

comment
Dystopian Oz: Season 2 is full of elements of this when a second group are shown going through the park. Not only do the group mimic the characters (most obviously Judy, who is even dressed like Dorothy and named after Judy Garland), but they are told to stay on the road and later killer scarecrows appear.

Bilingual Bonus: The kanji on Margot's shirt refers to A. Rasen, creator of the series. This is the first hint to the comic's metatextual nature. Gremory later directly tells Margot that the answer to her questions is on her shirt.

Extradimensional Power Source
 GremoryLand (Webcomic) / int_3787fba
comment
Extradimensional Power Source: Gremory Land is powered by the readers, as the 'gods'. It's anchored by Eva (and later Margot), whose suffering provides the 'fertilizer' for its creation, and is destroyed when Margot chooses to destroy the fourth wall and cut off the readers' viewpoint, despite knowing that doing so will kill her for good.

comment
We Used to Be Friends: Rami and Jax were childhood best friends, who, due to pressure on Jax to not seem weird or be perceived as "weak", "feminine" or "gay", grew apart. They briefly reconcile, but after Jax and Rami's sexual encounter, things take a turn for the worse, ending with Jax lashing out and Rami snapping and killing him.

Asshole Victim: In a series with so many of these, Ray stands out. Whilst Paul at least cares for his sister and Godric also attempts to protect Judy, Ray constantly berates her and considers her weak and useless, so it's fitting that Judy chooses to leave Gremory Land safely and condemn him rather than stick around.

Final Girl
 GremoryLand (Webcomic) / int_ad4c74ed
comment
Final Girl: Zoe is Final Girl material, showing herself to be more resourceful and staying true to her moral compass throughout her time in the park, as a stark contrast to people who were already corrupted or were corrupted by the park such as Margot, Rami, and Jax. A. Rasen also subverts this trope by never revealing Zoe's status as being a virgin or not or any of the other problematic parts of the Final Girl trope. Subverted since at the end of season 2 Zoe and Bruno both escape alongside Leslie. Although the three end up in another Gremory Land in season 3. From the group at the start of season 2, Judy. Although this is a subversion since Gremory actually allows her to leave safely by abandoning the others, since she was not invited and had no connection to Eva. Ultimately averted. Zoe does escape, but so do Bruno, Leslie and Rami.

Rape and Revenge: Eva was drugged and assaulted by Godric, Paul and Ray, who quickly dumped her from the car when they learned her mother was a cop, leaving her to be found dead the next day. Whilst the three who were directly involved are given their comeuppance, Eva also targets her former friends. But that was only because Gremory lied to her, leading Eva to believe her friends were actually Bitches in Sheep's Clothing who mocked her miserable state and covered what Ray's group did.

Thematic Series
 GremoryLand (Webcomic) / int_bc5ddda5
comment
Thematic Series: Stated by A. Rasen to be the second in a thematic trilogy, with Melvina's Therapy being the first and the third instalment coming in 2022. It is possible the connection goes deeper to the point of a connected universe, since both comics show people attempting to reach outside of the limits of their reality and certain lines and themes are dropped in from Melvina's Therapy. The metatexual nature of both comics means the shared universe could be ours.
